King of Pentacles

When the Knight becomes King, hopefully he now has time to enjoy the fruits of his labours. If he does, he is generous, warm, loyal and trustworthy (and always keeps a fine table!).

And that’s his lesson, I suppose, to be generous in our good fortune and take the time to savour it.

Reversed, stress, overtime – an early grave and a fat legacy.

I notice that I’ve drawn the Page, Knight and now King of Pentacles over the past days (with just a break for some Wands action) and I’m assuming that they are here because of the unexpected and growing possibility that I will in fact be able to go to the UK with Kate. And not necessarily thanks to John’s unexpected largesse. There is the possibility of a refund from the UK Inland Revenue… but would it be sensible to use that money on what could be seen as an extravagance?

The Pentacles court cards are about practical, tangible matters, and often they refer specifically to financial dealings. Well, a trip to the UK for a single mum who’s living on the pension would seem just the kind of effective marshalling of resources that this particular royal family would be best at.

Pick a card!

The idea is really simple. Just pick a card from your Tarot deck randomly each day and think about how its themes match what's going on in your life.
I add another twist - with an Australian Bush Flower Essence of the day as well. That's two random choices which day after day manage to relate both to each other and to me.
These are my experiences and I hope they provide an insight into the way our sub-conscious makes connections and communicates with us through imagery and themes.

Choosing your Deck

There's nothing more personal and there are so many to choose from. I chose the Robin Wood Tarot - I liked the pagan theme and the style of the drawings, but at the same time the cards retain most of the traditional imagery associated with the Rider-Waite Deck. That's what I've used here.
I've also used a deck of Australian Bush Flower Essence cards, choosing a card from each deck randomly at the start of each day.
